Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: I left mine home since he is about 70 pounds. I think he could have made it but it would not have been as enjoyable. It's probably OK if you have a seasoned trail dog that's smaller and can get some help in spots. There are a few spots for water.  
Bugs
Bugs: No issues

Comments
Comments: First time up Flume Slide and it was generally fine and not sketchy. One or two spots where you had to commit to a move you were making. There were a few wet spots on the rocks despite the recent dry weather.

The leaves were looking especially great towards Owl's Head and the Bonds. An Owl's Head hike from LW would probably be really pretty right now.
